Never a good word about real legal action.

5. The recall in California is peculiar to California

California has the lowest standards for recall - less than half the names needed on the petitions than in other states that allow recalls. Also, there are no justifications for the recall, no criminal or corruption charges need to be levied before a recall can proceed. It's a horrible system that the republicans have been exploiting for years - the recall and the ballot initiative system. I'm really pissed that the legislature has done nothing to reform the recall system. I don't know what they could do or if it needed to be an amendment to the State Constitution, but this, like the electoral college, is very wrong and unlike the electoral college, could have been fixed.
